In this AU, technology (as well as fetish acceptance and sexual product demand) has progressed so much farther, and as such many businesses have opened a new industry: Mutation, and Transformation. The leading company, TFTech, offers many different transformations, including but not limited to: Anthropomorphic Animals, Gender Swap, Fat and Muscle Manipulation, Age Change, Inflation, Mental and Emotional Shifting, and Inanimate Objectification. They also provide many different sex toys, and other gadgets for those who are being introduced to the experience.
These services come in a variety of forms, and are made on commission. These are some of the forms that may be provided. It is advised not to mix different types of applications, as there is a high risk of an unseen, violent reaction:
Capsules: Small, spherical gel capsules meant for brief, temporary transformations. Usually coming in packs of 15, the transformation itself can take as little as 5 seconds, with it lasting as long as an hour. Reverting can take up to 3 minutes. Preferred for inexperienced customers getting into transformation.
Vials: Longer lasting than Capsules, Vials are for more drawn out sessions, and come in packs of 6. The transformation takes up to 10 minutes, lasts for up to 48 hours, and takes half an hour to revert.
Pills: Not to be confused with Capsules, these Pills resembling aspirin in shape and size are for those now enjoy the process of transforming itself. While it only lasts around 45 minutes, and reverts as quick, it can take between 3 to 26 hours to complete the transformation. Pills also increases sensitivity during the transformation process.
Syringes: A more permanent option, Syringes rewrite the genetic code of those injected with whatever serum is within. The transformation will take, on average, 3 months to complete. This is the (second) most expensive option, so not many people are willing to spend the money required. When the serum is made, another serum, one to restore the customers original DNA, is also created in case the subject would like to change back. Since the Syringe is changing the genetic code of the subject, it is safe to use other methods without fear of a harmful reaction.
Shape shifter therapy: For those who desire full control of there form, there is this option. Though it can take 5 months to a year to finish therapy, afterwards the subject will be able to shift between their natural form, and the form they chose for therapy. This alternate form can be changed with 1 to 3 months of conversion therapy.
TFTech also has many gadgets and tools to use as well. Here are a few popular ones:
Weight Transfer Bracelets: This set of wrist worn bracelets automatically manipulates the fat saturation of those who use them, and is intended for two people. It is either set to Input/Output where one wearer losses fat till they have their preferred amount, while the other would gain said fat. Or if is set to a Auto-Balance where the weight gain and loss is shared equally between the 2 wearers. These bracelets also remove any health risks of obesity.
Intelligence Dampening Choker: This collar reduces the intelligence and free will of who ever equips it, effectively devolving them into a dumb, obedient slave. Though it has no permanent effects, it can cause mental whiplash the first few times it's removed.
Manipulator Program: This is a new project TFTech has announced in conjunction with their new app, Manipulator. Every person who signs up is filled with nanobots, and given a Manipulator ID, which is encrypted to prevent misuse and hacking. If the ID is used in Manipulator it can be used to alter the subject physically, mental, and emotionally within the in all limitations. The software is still in alpha stages of development, and as such there is an option to remove said limitations. However this is only available to employees, or V.I.P shareholders, and TFTech discourages people from disabling the limiters, as it is untested.
Speaking of V.I.P shareholders, one of the largest shareholders, who will remain anonymous, has died recently. In their will they have given their shares to a family member. Who is the lucky man or woman who is receiving the proposition of a lifetime?
